Chapter 134 Disguise
The Hu family is a foreign family in Taicheng County. They are monks from the Wu Kingdom. There were also monks from the Zifu period in the family many years ago.
In the civil war in Xuansu Palace that year, the Hu family supported the defeat of the palace owner Liu Lingjun. After the war, they were afraid of Yang Xuanzhen’s pursuit, so they had to flee into the Yu Kingdom in embarrassment. Even the head of the Zifuqi family died on the way.
In order to seize resources, the Hu family relied on old acquaintances from the Wu State and relied on Hu Peiyu as a backer. They used Wei Mazi and others to attack Jiuhuashan and Xihefang twice, and had already formed a deep hatred with the Taicheng County monks.
Because of Hu Peiyu’s relationship, the five major families in Taicheng County had no way to join forces to deal with them.
Entering Jiaohefang controlled by Wu Sixeng, the elders of the Hu family were extremely frightened. They were on tenterhooks almost every day, very afraid that the Wu family would do something evil for them.
The old man of the Hu family is named Hu Boren. He has been building a foundation for many years and has a very cautious character.
As soon as he returned to Jiaohefang, he sent people to secretly monitor the foundation-building monks of the Wu family.
“Uncle Ninth, our informant came back with news that Wu Siheng and Zhang Zhixuan met in Fangshi today. It seems that the two of them had a very happy conversation.” A middle-aged man with a sixth level of qi training came respectfully and said in a low voice. .
Upon hearing the news, Hu Boren immediately noticed something was wrong.
He had already investigated in Xihefang and found out that Zhang Zhixuan, a foundation-building monk of the Zhang family, had a grudge against the Wu family for killing his father.
Unless there is something very important, the two of them will not meet and talk at all. If something happens, they will just send a messenger. Since they meet, something big must have happened.
This matter cannot be noticed yet, so as not to leak the news.
At this time of secret consultation, the goal was already quite obvious.
“No, it’s dangerous!” Hu Boren’s face changed drastically. He immediately thought of something, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
“What should we do? We can’t walk out of Jiaohefang arrogantly. We have to find a way to find a backer from the Qingxuan Sect so that we can go back safely.
It’s a pity that this place is Jiaohefang, and the people guarding it are all the disciples and grandsons of Wu Sixeng. Where there is a backer, there are enemies everywhere who eat people without spitting out their bones.
Although they did not dare to take action publicly because of Peiyu’s niece, it was easy to tip Wu Xiangjie and conceal the information.
Entering Jiaohefang is like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth, and you can’t spend it for a long time. Thirty monks live in Jiaohefang for a long time, and the daily cultivation expenses are a huge amount. There will always be a day when they leave.
Now that Wu and Zhang have met, they will not give up until their goal is achieved. They have the initiative and can easily repatriate the tribesmen. There is no point in wasting their time.
Sooner or later, we have to break through this level. It is better to break out early and break through. “
Hu Boren thought for a whole night and immediately made a decision. He divided the family’s Qi-training monks into eight groups and left Jiaohefang from all directions.
And he also used the Disguise Wood to have three Qi-training monks disguise themselves as him and leave the city from the four directions of Jiaohefang.
During the Qi training period, monks cannot fly with swords. In order to avoid exposing their secrets, the people pretending to be Hu Boren left on foot.
Hu Boren thought very clearly that the rules of Jiaohefang were the same as those of Qingxuan Sect. No one within a hundred miles would dare to take action. If you dare to kill people, it is like slapping Qingxuanzong in the face. Qingxuanzong will definitely investigate and the Wu and Zhang families will be in trouble.
“So as long as the Wu and Zhang families can’t figure out where my true identity is, there is hope of escaping.” As soon as Hu Boren left Fangshi, he immediately took out a divine walking talisman and stuck it on his body, and quickly moved towards it with the speed of a monk in the Qi training period. Running towards Montenegro.
He knew clearly that the route heading north to Taicheng County and west to Tuoshan would be intercepted by someone. Only heading east to Heishan and south to Shuangjiao Mountain would be the only way to survive.
Wu Xiangjie saw that Hu Boyu could also master the art of disguise, making it impossible for the monitoring monks to distinguish the authenticity, so he sighed: “Bo Ren’s son has escaped. We must have leaked the news when we met yesterday. This person’s character is cunning. Determined, there is such a treacherous method. “
Zhang Zhixuan also sent his family to monitor Hu Boyu. He just received the news and asked, “Senior, can you tell which direction is Hu Boyu?”
Wu Xiangjie shook his head and said: “This person is quite cunning, and his secrets have not been revealed yet. Our family has two foundations in Jiaohefang. The two directions of Taicheng County in the north and Tuoshanfang in the west are left to us.
The directions of Shuangjiao Mountain in the south and Heishan in the east are left to you and Brother Leqian. As for the remaining Qi-training monks of the Hu family, we will not take action and let them go back to the mountains. “
Judging from Hu Boyu’s escape route, the most likely direction is to go to Tuoshan. As long as he goes to Tuoshan, he is under the control of Qingxuanzong. So Wu Xiangzhen went to the west in person.
In view of the fact that Hu Boren’s cultivation level was already relatively high, Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Leqian discussed it and decided not to disperse their forces, so as to have a chance of winning.
They only choose one direction to gamble. If they choose correctly, they will succeed. If they choose incorrectly, they will not get entangled.
The two had a quick discussion and finally decided to go east.
Now that they decided to take action, the two of them didn’t hide it, and they drew their flying swords one after another and followed Hu Boren who was walking eastward.
Seeing the two sword lights following him leisurely, Hu Boren had a bitter look on his face. Although he had made various arrangements, there were still foundation-building monks following him.
Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhixuan were lucky after all. They had a 1/2 chance of betting and successfully targeted Hu Boren.
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan and the two men were following up slowly and were almost out of the hundred-mile range, Hu Boren knew that as long as he went back today, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
The Zhang and Wu families will definitely keep an eye on Hu Boren, and then allocate manpower to hunt down the other Qi-training monks and prevent them from returning to Jiuhua Mountain to deliver the news. Even Wu Sixeng can secretly do something. A third-level high-quality enchantment charm can confuse Hu Boren for a period of time, making him leave Jiaohefang obediently and disappear into the southern wasteland without anyone noticing.
All this happened today is just because the Hu family did a great job in Taicheng County.
If they had been more difficult back then and entered the Southern Wilderness with their family, or entered Liaoshan County to create a situation, and did not make enemies everywhere, they would not be in danger today.
As soon as Hu Peiyu opened the Zifu, Hu Boyu of the Hu family became unscrupulous. He first attacked the declining Zhang family and seized the Jiuhua Mountain, the spiritual vein of the Zhang family.
After finally being quiet for 30 years, he dared to bully the Wu family who was at the height of their power, and took over Xihefang.
There are dozens of shops in Jiaohefang. Controlling Xihefang can earn a thousand spiritual stones every year. If the Hu family takes such a huge profit, it will naturally cause a backlash from the Wu family.
This kind of thing completely pissed off Wu Sixeng. Even within the Qingxuan Sect, Wu Sixeng said a lot of strange things, which made Patriarch Jin look a little embarrassed.
This time the Wu and Zhang families were preparing to kill Hu Boren. It was impossible for Wu Siheng not to know, but he pretended not to see it, and even secretly helped Wu Xiangjian and Zhang Zhixuan when the action was unfavorable, making it easier for them to take action.
Seeing that he had left the protection area of Jiaohefang, Hu Boren knew that he could not hesitate now, so he immediately used his flying sword and flew towards the desolate mountains.
Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Leqian, who were following behind, no longer hid, but also increased their magic power, chasing after Hu Boren.
